May I Inspect?

[Kika Maslyaka]

It used to be considered rude and offensive and essentially as "intent to harm" on LIVE Red servers - if you are looking at man's gear - you most likely want to steal it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

illist the human female cleric got mad at me when i inspected her whilst she was medding at the GFay zoneline in LFay in 2000.
she didn't even have anything decent, full suit of sol ro armour and some shitty mace.

Do you play here illist? you suck.

I never got mad about being inspected, but it's nice when people are social.

It always felt to me like a foreigner that walks up to you and invades your personal space without touching you. Technically they're not doing anything wrong. They're just standing as close as they do in their culture, but I don't like it all that well.

It doesn't make me mad, but there's a better way, a more polite way.

I really think inspecting people, particularly people of your own class, lets you figure out what you need to buy to be sort of efficient. I know there is Magelo, but most of the people on there are level 55 or higher so you are not going to buy that stuff at level 10. [You must be logged in to view images.

I have just stumbled upon project 1999, and I am very interested in starting to play!

Was reminiscing , and do people still ask each other "may I inspect" ?

Random question, this 1999 experience looks like so much fun though ! I gotta make a druid main again to farm giants so I can make a twink monk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've brought this up a few times recently. I thought I'd remembered it but I also thought it was a little silly. Regardless, I distinctly remember EVERYONE doing it on my server - inspecting someone without asking could put you on the social blacklist for forever if you did it to the wrong person, and if someone said no, you just didn't do it.

Yeah on Torvo it was a no no in the beginning to inspect. I think on here people have changed. But in the tunnel a lot of people are afk so hard to know if they might care or gone having dinner lol. I mean it sure does not hurt to ask! But sort of a pain to do a tell to do it. I would not just target someone and ask. Everyone knows your doing it and if the person gets pissed wow then you look like a goat. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

im scared of inspecting someone without ask, normally always /toggleins off, but ppl doesnt ask, just go and inspect

In the age of modern MMOs where this feature is overly accessible... it's not really considered rude on here anymore.

I remember on Morell Thule it was a privilege not a right lol, it had to do with the whole role playing thing, it kind of breaks character and was seen to be just too Gamer orientated.

I remember someone challenging me to a duel because I accidentally inspected him in the Bazaar, he wanted a throw down in the pvp arena lol.

Stuff like that doesn't happen these days
